.. Yes I appreciate that the HU 5 and the HC 2 are not (quite) the same aircraft but really the differences are not major, certainly not in 1:72 scale. While I finished the
new-tool Airfix Wessex earlier in 2026, it is only now appearing in the latest issue of Scale Aircraft Modelling. Here's a few images that I took at the RAF Manston History museum of XS 482 (an HU.5) that I wish I'd had when I was actually building the kit - in particular showing details of the lower fuselage exhausts ( I was convinced these were wrong on the kit, but they are not..) and the 'pincer'-like tie-down 'arms' behind the main wheels....
